Evidence and
Investigation
January
16-
February

1. Recognize evidence of recent human
activity, and recognize evidence of animal
activity in a natural outdoor setting.
2. Observe a set of footprints, and infer the
direction and speed of travel.
3. Recognize that evidence found at a scene
of an activity may have unique
characteristics that allow an investigator to
make inferences about the participants and
the nature of the activity, and give examples
of how specific evidence may be used.
4. Investigate evidence and link it to a
possible source; e.g., by:
Classifying footprints, tire prints
and soil samples from a variety of
locations
Analyzing the ink from different
pens, using paper chromatography
Analyzing handwriting samples to
identify the handwriting of a
specific person
Comparing samples of fabric
Classifying fingerprints collected
from a variety of surfaces

Air and
Aerodynamics
March 1-
April 25
1. Provide evidence that air takes up space
and exerts pressure, and identify examples
of these properties in everyday applications.
2. Provide evidence that air is a fluid and is
capable of being compressed, and identify
examples of these properties in everyday
applications
3. Describe and demonstrate instances in
which air movement across a surface results
in liftBernoullis principle
4. Recognize that in order for devices or
living things to fly, they must have

sufficient lift to overcome the downward
force of gravity.
5. Identify adaptations that enable birds and
insects to fly.
6. Describe the means of propulsion for
flying animals and for aircraft.
7. Recognize that streamlining reduces drag,
and predicts the effects of specific design
changes on the drag of a model aircraft or
aircraft components.
8. Recognize that air is composed of
different gases, and identify evidence for
different gases. Example evidence might
include: effects on flames, the using up of
a particular gas by burning or rusting,
animal needs for air exchange.
